Turbomachinery News Network: GE Vernova, Baker Hughes, and Mitsubishi Power

Welcome to the twentieth edition of the Turbomachinery News Network. I’m James Cook, associate editor at Turbomachinery International.

GE Vernova and YTLPowerSeraya agreed to perform a feasibility study on the reduction of CO₂ emissions at the H-class combined-cycle gas turbine plant on Jurong Island, Singapore. Under the study, the H-class CCGT will be retrofitted with technology to capture approximately 90% of the plant’s CO₂ emissions. GE Vernova will evaluate the integration of H-class technology with post-combustion carbon capture, supported by exhaust gas recirculation, steam integration, and controls integration.

Technip Energies contracted Baker Hughes to supply a steam turbine generator and centrifugal compression equipment for the Blue Point Number One Ammonia Project in Modeste, LA. The delivery scope includes an ammonia compressor, syngas compressor, recycle compressor, CO₂ compressor, and a steam turbine-driven BRUSH generator. The compressors will help deliver captured CO₂ to geological storage sites via pipeline.

GE Vernova opened an aeroderivative-based Repair Service Center in the Parque Industrial Centenario in Argentina. The facility will initially offer LMS100 maintenance services, with plans to expand capabilities to LM2500 and LM6000 gas turbines by year-end 2026. As the company’s first aeroderivative repair center in Latin America, the facility is expected to boost repair capabilities across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay.

PacificLight Power granted an engineering, procurement, and construction contract to Mitsubishi Power and Jurong Engineering to develop the largest, high efficiency combined-cycle gas turbine power plant on Jurong Island, Singapore. The 670-MW facility can power over 965,000 four-room flats, with the capability to operate on 30% hydrogen currently and 100% hydrogen in the future. It’s scheduled to begin operations in 2029.
